Pretzel Wheat Beer Rules, Other Beer Flavors Not As Good [GALLERY]

Just in time for National Pretzel Day tomorrow, our friends at Shock Top Brewing Co. have released an amazing pretzel-flavored brew called Shock Top Twisted Pretzel Wheat. Which sounds great, but you know how that can go with a beer. Fortunately, we’ve actually sampled the Shock Top Twisted Pretzel Wheat, and can attest to it being a damn perfect pretzelly mix. The brew is, um…brewed with wheat, caramel malt, orange peels and a rich pretzel flavor. It’s also 5.2 percent alcohol, which ain’t too shabby, so look for it at beer festivals nationwide (and some select locations across the country).

In other beer-related news, Heineken has decided to release Desperados, which is a tequila-flavored beer. It’s getting ready to enter the American market after knocking around Europe for 15 years .

In fact, that one’s got us thinking about all of the terrible beer flavors out there. Check out 10 weird flavors that can’t compete with Shock Top Twisted Pretzel Wheat…
